You would be the one to bring up this topic and apply numbers to time!
You get 5 times more done in a year when you have 1/4 the time to do it in than I can even imagine completing.
And that is not a tongue in cheek comment, that is a serious statement from me to you!
I guess it is our other commitments that come into play Allen. When I did my shop build it was top priority. Now with my wife's physical disability and minimum 3 physical therapy treatments weekly as well as my concern to be with her or taking her some where when I am available, the shop time has been compromised. But it should be so for me and my situation right now.
I have enjoyed shop time making wooden items for the farm and livestock so it is being quite beneficial when needed and it does make more efficient use of my time when I am building needed items. I don't want to wish my life away, but when I retire, I will have a resource for using/utilizing my time instead of the couch being my only option.
But yes, the depth of snow last winter as well as the length of cold spells and their severity kept me on my toes with wood and keeping livestock watered, fed and healthy.
This summer, the heat's intensity and durations have taxed us keeping livestock cool and watered. Fans are running in two barns for three pens of bottle calves. Just this week consolidated two pens of calves into one and enlarged their corral. But that fan needs to stay on as the grandson's pony is now in that box stall.
